Qin Official

In early April, Qinyi, Gui County, Longxi County.

Seven hundred years ago, Feizi raised horses between Mi and Wei for King Xiao of Zhou Dynasty. The horses were well fed, which made the king of Zhou very happy. He decided to reward Feizi and allowed him to build a city in a place called "Qin" and divide the land into "Qin". vassal.

Since then, there has been an additional clan named "Qin" in the world.

This was also the first time Qin Shihuang came to Qinyi. He stood on the top of Xiaoyi and looked around, but he saw a small platform located at the intersection of two small rivers, with Yagou to the west and Gui Mountain to the north. Except for the thousands of acres of land beside the creek, the land is occupied by woods and shrubs far and near. Other than that, it is lonely and bleak stone, with almost nowhere to go. The dark mountains stretch to the north, blocking the biting cold wind in winter.

Before coming here, the First Emperor had no idea that the land where his ancestors originally lived was such a barren land...

He turned back and looked at the Prime Minister Wang Wan who was accompanying him: "Prime Minister, what is the rank of Zhou Shi's vassal?"

Wang Wan responded: "Your Majesty, a vassal is lower than a doctor, roughly equivalent to a sergeant in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Qin Shihuang couldn't help but sigh: "Chu people often boast that their ancestors made blue roads to open up the mountains and forests. How can my ancestors not do the same? Seven hundred years and thirty-six generations, from vassals to emperors, from a mere small town to Jiuzhou Lord."

This is a leap from earth to sky, a miracle created by the people of Qin.

As the person who finally completed this mission, Qin Shihuang could not hide his pride, but then he thought of the strange dream he had a few days ago when he was worshiping Feizi between the rivers and rivers...

What kind of hint did the ancestor Feizi want to give himself through this dream? "His Majesty!"

The travel-worn doctor ordered Wang Li to climb up to the city, cupped his hands and said, "The great witch from Xichou has arrived!" "You've come just in time!"

After Qin Shihuang passed Longshan, he stopped and walked around the palaces in counties and cities along the way, in order to listen to the witches' wishes to interpret his dreams in Qinyi, the first place where the Qin people had a foothold.

Xichou is the largest ancestral temple in Guanzhong that is older than Chen Bao Temple. More than 500 years ago, the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward to Luoyi to escape the disaster of dog soldiers. At that time, Qin Xianggong, who was just a "Western Frontier Doctor", sent troops to escort him. , for his meritorious service, he was made a vassal by King Ping of Zhou, titled "Uncle Qin", and given the land west of Qishan.

It was not until this time that Qin, which had always been just a vassal and official, officially founded the country and gained the power to communicate with the princes as envoys. Duke Xiang of Qin was very happy and established the Xichou Temple in Qiyi (Long County), the capital of Qin at that time. Three colts, three oxen, and three rams each were made as a sacrifice to the ancestor of the Ying surname, Bai Di Shaohao.

All Qin Shihuang had high expectations for the great wizard Wu Ya of Xichou, but what disappointed him was that the wizard was old and was already exhausted after being carried in the car by the impatient Wang Li. Over and over again, it's still the same routine as in "Rishu", with no new insights.

Qin Shihuang was quite dissatisfied, and waved his sleeves to let Wu Ya go down, thinking: "Li Si once said in his "Admonishment and Expulsion Book" that the Qin Dynasty must be born before it can be used. It is a luminous jade that does not decorate the court; a rhinoceros-like weapon, It is not for fun; the daughters of Zheng and Wei do not fill the harem, and the juéti of Junliang does not serve as stables, the gold and tin of the south of the Yangtze River are not used, and the paintings of Xishu are not harvested. "" This is not only true for products and talents, but also for The same is true for witches and divination people. The witches of Qin are dull and stupid. They only know how to flip through a few volumes of Japanese books and explain the meaning of my dreams to the common people in Guizhou! How roundabout! If I had known this, I might as well abandon the near and seek the far away. Go and bring the Yan and Qi alchemists from Xianyang to find out, which may satisfy me."

The emperor asked people to interpret dreams, but he did not fully believe what the dream interpreters said. He had to make sure that what they said was in line with his own wishes.

Just as he was thinking this, Lang Wei reported that Hei Fu, who had gone to Chencang to pick someone up, was also back. "Forget it, let's see what the great witch Chen Bao says."

Qin Shihuang did not have high hopes. He had decided that if he was still not satisfied, these local shamans could stay in those temples forever and never have to go to Xianyang again in this life...

However, Wu Zhi in Chen Bao Temple was still the same as before, with a sallow appearance and a phlegm-like voice when speaking, which made the emperor quite displeased. However, after listening to the emperor absentmindedly recounting his dream, Wu Zhi thought for a moment and suddenly fell to the ground. Bow: "Your Majesty's dream, I already know the reason."

He bowed deeply and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is a great auspicious sign! It is comparable to the seven days of Duke Mu back then!"

Duke Mu of Qin was in a coma for seven days and dreamed of going to the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, traveling in Juntian, and playing Guanglei music. This was regarded by the monarchs of the Qin Dynasty as a sign that Haotian would choose Qin to dominate. This is quite different from Wang Wan and Wu Ya. , which actually made Qin Shihuang a little more patient, nodded, and let him continue. "Great witch, please elaborate." "I hope your majesty can allow me to start with the twelve golden people in the dream." Wu Zhi began to talk. "At the beginning of the twenty-sixth year, twelve giants appeared in Lintao. They were five feet long, wearing Di clothes, and their footprints were six feet long..." All the ministers Wu Zhu and the alchemists thought that this was your majesty's destiny. There is no doubt that it is a good omen to be crowned emperor, but no one can tell clearly where the twelve giants came from and where they went. The old man was also at a loss for a while, but not long ago, he read through the ancient shaman blessings of Chen Bao Temple. While reading the prayers left behind, I made an unexpected discovery! "

Qin Shihuang became more interested in the truth about the Twelve Golden People. "A hundred years ago, Chen Bao Temple Wu Zhu once worshiped Kuafu, so I thought that these twelve giants were actually after Kuafu!" "Kuafu?" This is a new interpretation. Qin Shihuang became more interested and began to Listened carefully. "In the wilderness, there is a mountain named Chengdu Zaitian. There is a man named Er with two yellow snakes and two yellow snakes named Kuafu. Kuafu is also a giant."

"Another saying: Kuafu was racing with the sun, wanting to see the sunset. On the way, Kuafu felt thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he ran to the rivers and Wei Rivers to drink water; the water of the Yellow River and the Wei River was not enough. Then he went to Daze in the north to drink water. Unexpectedly, he died of thirst after only walking halfway. His head turned into Longshan, his arms turned into Qinling and Jitoushan, and his feet turned into Weihan. Even the mahogany cane was thrown at his feet. , turned into a peach forest, this is the origin of the Peach Forest Fortress... And Qinchuan's eight hundred miles is just Kuafu's spacious back."

This was a new explanation. Qin Shihuang nodded slightly and listened with great interest. "After Kuafu's death, he inherited Kuafu's ambition and continued to move westward. As for Kunlun and Tianshan, he attached himself to the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West and called him the Jusou clan..."

The story of Kuafu Zhuri and Queen Mother of the West was widely circulated in the Central Plains, but Wu Zhi was the one who combined the two for the first time. Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up: "The great witch means that the twelve giants are the giants after Kuafu." Sou's family, and they are envoys sent by the Queen Mother of the West?" "Of course."

Wu Zhi followed the emperor's wishes and said: "I thought that it was probably your majesty's achievements in one sea. It spread along the west of the river, across the quicksand, to the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun. When the Queen Mother of the West heard about it, she ordered the twelve giants after Kuafu to come to see the emperor. . However, the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West is a kingdom of gods and immortals. The twelve giants came to the world, and mortal eyes could only glimpse them for a moment, and then they were invisible. ""Only Your Majesty gathered the soldiers of the six countries, sharpened dysprosium, and cast them into golden figures. Second, let the twelve giants attach themselves to the golden people. Now that your majesty has passed Longshan and wants to open up the west, the giants have come to visit you in their dreams. They probably want to invite your majesty to go to the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West like King Mu of Zhou did..."

After that, Wu Zhi started to learn and sell it now, and talked about the story he saw in the "Biography of Emperor Mu".

"It is said that the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West is in the ruins of Kunlun, or on the Tianshan Mountains. There is a Yaochi in the sky. In the past, King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty traveled far and wide, and ordered him to ride on eight horses. The right one is Hualiu, the left is green, the right is red, and the left is white. With Zaofu in charge of the chariot, he drove five thousand miles to the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West. Then he visited the Queen Mother of the West and drank wine on the Yaochi. The Queen Mother of the West sang a song for the king, and the king greeted her with a mournful speech. He also followed the Queen Mother of the West with a dragon chariot. As a driver, I went to the Yu Valley on the coast of the West Sea to watch the sun. I traveled thousands of miles in one day..."

"It is often said by future generations that King Mu of Zhou enjoyed all the happiness in his life and still lived for a hundred years before he died. People at that time thought that he had become an immortal. It is said that this was because after drinking the fine wine from Yaochi, the Queen Mother of the West, he would be able to longevity……"

As Wu Zhi's local legend was combined with "The Biography of Emperor Mu", Qin Shihuang was sitting upright, immersed in the legend of the Queen's Motherland. After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he still had some unfinished thoughts.

Thinking about it carefully, King Zhou Mu's hobbies were somewhat similar to his. They didn't like to stay in one place all their lives, but wanted to see the vastness of the world and the beauty of the nine states.

Qin Shihuang couldn't help but sigh: "My achievements are greater than those of the three emperors, and my virtue is greater than that of the five emperors, but I am a little envious of King Zhou Mu, a mediocre and successful leader."

Wu Zhi also said: "That's why the Queen Mother of the West asked the twelve giants to invite Your Majesty to go west!"

Qin Shihuang said: "I once heard Wushi Luo say that the west is vast, the quicksand is thousands of miles away, and there are Qiang people, Rong kings, and Yueshi people in the way. How can we go there easily?"

Wu Zhi said: "That's why in your majesty's dream, there are white horses to carry you and black dogs to guide you, helping your majesty to travel west."

But Qin Shihuang frowned: "Wait a minute, the scene in the dream is clearly a white horse and a black dog leading me east."

"When your majesty showed the mirror, you found that the direction in the mirror was opposite to that in the real world, and the same was true in the dream. Besides, didn't the black dog lead your majesty to find the twelve golden men?"

Qin Shihuang raised his hands in front of his chin and said, "Please tell me more about the white horse and the black dog." The old man heard that a few days ago, in the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng, a minister suggested that your Majesty fill in Longxi. Open up Hexi? "

Wu Zhi smiled mysteriously, but did not point it out directly: "Your Majesty, who do you think the black dog who leads your Majesty is?" "Xituo... the black dog..."

Qin Shihuang straightened up, looked past Wu Zhi, and looked at the door of the hall, where Heifu, the chief minister of the Shaofu, was sitting upright with an upright face, but he looked darker than others when he looked at him vertically and horizontally.

He smiled knowingly. "I have heard someone say that when Hei Fu was the director of the pavilion, he once called himself the Great Qin Tengu?"
